Ii realize this is an older post but today i discovered the cause of my p37f's distorting and it's detached surrounds on five of the six woofers. I find it strange that there have been no posts on this issue since September. It clearly IS an issue that affected entire line. I guess really not a lot of people own these. In any case i removed the woofers and took them in to a local speaker repair shop, which is sort of the same thing klipsch said to do when i contacted them as to whether or not they would fix them. They themselves do not (!?). They outsource repairs to a shop in Florida. In any case they definitely did not offer to cover the repairs in what is clearly a manufacturing defect. Oh well, i really like the speakers, just wish company as big as klipsch stood little more behind their top of a line product. Discontinued or not.
Klipsch Palladium P39F and Probably the Entire line Major issue!
I have a pair of P39F's and have had an issue for a while with one of the 9" woofers. The rubber surround that is connected to the aluminum cap on the cone was separating. Today I thought I would see if I could get the decorative cover off that hides the screws, it is over $100, so I didn't want to have to buy it to when I replaced the torn woofer. I managed to remove the cover and then I looked up at the rest of my woofers in the cabinet and to my surprise the other two woofers have the surround separating too.
I then took the cover off my other P39 and it's surrounds are starting to separate to.
Something really stinks, six woofers separating, Klipsch is this why you discontinued the Palladium's? Maybe anyone out there that has Palladium's should take a look at the rubber surrounds. Klipsch use the same technique on the entire line for the surrounds, not just the P39's but all of them.
Anybody know of a hidden recall or something? this isn't right, Klipsch this shouldn't be happening on a pair of $20,000 speakers!!!
